Overview
- The Seahawks hosted Joe Mixon for a workout on Monday and, after a physical on Tuesday, decided not to sign him to the practice squad.
- The team did not specify a medical reason for the reversal, leaving Mixon’s recovery from the foot injury that cost him the 2025 season an open question.
- Seattle’s available running backs are Emanuel Wilson, George Holani and Velus Jones Jr., while Zach Charbonnet continues his rehab and rookie Jadarian Price remains on injured reserve.
- Mixon is a two‑time Pro Bowler with multiple 1,000‑yard seasons, but he missed all of 2025 with a 'freak' foot problem and was released by the Texans in March.
- The episode highlights how fast, insider reports can precede medical clearances and how teams balance a veteran’s production against unresolved health risk when filling short‑term roster needs.
